As originally described, I thought it was hoaky. But watching it in action a couple of times, I like it. I do see that when installing the apps, I always seem to get several apps that need attention, and won't resolved.
But, text messages are saved, Themes are saved, but NOT screen layout. Login for accounts are pushed with a prompt.
Takes most, not all, of the pain of a hard reset away.
For me is useless.
It just copy the list of the installed apps WITHOUT the data!
It does not save the start screen..
Conclusion, if you hard reset the phone you can just restore the list of apps some configurations and SMS..
I was waiting for the same iCloud backup

Really? It installed all of my 40+ apps. That alone makes it descent.

I think it's useless as well. If you're using an unlocked phone it doesn't work at all. You can't go through the setup properly because you have no data until you input your APN. Once you do, you have no chance to restore from backup.
i didn't think much about it until i switched my black 920 for a white one, and man was it nice having it download my apps and input all my settings for me. it's still a little buggy (with the apps that require attention and the lack of the start screen layout being saved) but it's a pretty handy feature imo.

I think the apps that require attention are the preinstalled Nokia apps needing update. As long as I know what they are, I'm good.
It installed 79 apps for me, (except for Nokia Exclusives, Qty.4), I had to enter email passwords, and my setting were all restored. Compaired to what we had to do before had Im happy. I imagine it will get better too. As for app & game date backup I have a few games and apps that offer them via the app.
No setup wizard, so no possibility to migrate from old phone using the "Copy accounts and data from device" in Google setup.
Usually, when one do a factory reset, the phone starts with the setup wizard, which gives the possibility to copy content from another phone with the same Google account.
Any suggestions on how to make the setup wizard show up after a factory reset?
Tried adding ro.setupwizard.mode = ENABLED to the build.prop, but that made no difference:crying:

No. I'm just generally disappointed by the product. Elephone don't deliver on their promises. Eg. small bezels was hyped to only 1.6 mm but the phone I received has bezels in the order of 2.5 to 3 mm

OP, are you rooted?
If so, use titanium backup to backup your old phone then copy the content of your old phone to the new phone (copy SD CARD)
Then download titanium backup from the play store and hit restore
I backed up everything manually as even with the setup wizard you don't get app data back for most stuff. I used App Backup & Restore for saving the apks for all the apps I wanted to keep, any apps with data I wanted e.g. Tasker I used its own backup feature then restored it after reinstall, used SMS backup & restore for all SMS & call logs, gallery was already backed up to my google account so was restored along with contacts when I added the account, although I did also have them available on a PC as well. Once the account was added & I'd opened the play store it then went on it's merry way updating any apps that required it. Really wasn't that much of a hardship but I regularly backup so maybe I'm just used to it.
I take no credit for this whatsoever. A lot of folks over on the ZTE forum were asking about installing the Google Contacts and Phone from the Pixel and so I poked around and found this Moto X Play thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-play/themes-apps/google-pixel-dialer-t3477633
I downloaded and flashed the zip via TWRP and so far everything seems fine.
Awesome! Works perfectly thank you for sharing. This plus pixel launcher and pixel bootanimation looks great :good:

I've been using the Nexus version of the Google dialer for the past couple months, it was this way too.... I flashed this Pixel dialer today, it did update (I compared version numbers) and it's still this way. So, I think this is "normal".
Just downloaded both and only the phone apk would install. Also might have found a bug or some type issue trying to open the Quick Replies tab in the Settings. Took a screen shot

What I linked to was a flashable zip, not individual APKs. I think the error you're getting is expected if you just try to install them via APK.

Short answer is no.
Anyone notice any battery drain after flashing this?
I love this. It makes me feel at home coming from a n6. I don't notice any battery drain. But I have not done any gsam or battery checking...
Disregard turned out to be caused by something else
Has anyone installed this on the Axon and have an issue regarding dual sim?
Google Contacts 1.6.15 can be installed over the ZIP and it works fine.

If you install this and freeze both the mifavor in call UI and phone and messaging you will get the pixel UI.

You can revoke Digital Wellbeing access to usage permission, this would essentially disable it.

Easy way to remove digital wellbeing is to use this adb command :

Hi,
this update (V30 to pie, recieved today) just destroyed all of my home screen configurations (folders, arrangements, widgets, links to websites) -> really annoying.
Also my navigation bar cannot be set to black anymore -> any help?
system seems very laggy, hope that sorts after all app updates are through.
this is not a nice expierence.

From what I noticed, the navigation bar can be set black with a black theme, however, it still becomes white in certain apps (eg. Chrome).
I didn't see a way to make it black universally.

After a big update like from Oreo to Pie is always very advisable to factory reset the phone. You'll be surprised.

surprised of how awfull it is to restore an android phone?
there are so many apps (like home banking) that are linked to the phone and cannot be backed up... I try to avoid that. But I guess it is time to switch to Samsung S10 soon was hoping to wait a little longer till the prices go down.....
but the pie update also seems to drain my battery even faster. what a mess

Well, the battery drain is just another reason to factory reset and it's kinda ironic that you'll have to set your new phone anyway.I told you to factory reset because I solved a lot of problems on my phones through the years after major updates. It's not mandatory but very advisable. At the end it's your phone and your will to do it and set it again.

it is probably what I have to d. but it sure makes it easier to move away from a 15 month old phone.... I just didn't expect LG pushing me away. I was loyal for some time, and I really think this is one of the most beautiful phones of its time; but it sure does not perform well (anymore).
is there any "small" cache reset that will not delete everything?
in case it is interesting for someone:
Last SOT test from a few days ago (before the update) was 4:45 with normal use, mostly indoors, which is not great, but good enough, since I use my phone alot and sometimes charge 2-3 times a day.
will try a regular test with pie in a few days, but I am too busy to have it under similar conditions...

This. It's a new UI and UX, clean install is not difficult thanks to Google backup. I will definitely do a clean install.

a clean install is actually difficult; (as well as to switching to other brand phones)
- my messaging apps loose all there messages (some have manual backup)
- banking apps loose there unique keys -> need to be reauthorized with the bank
- two factor auth apps need to carefully be restored
...
of course if you have a few plain games that are cloud synced, this does not matter; but if you actually use the phone it is not so easy to restore all data; (especially ensuring that nothing of importance gets lost)
I will go as far as wipe cache partition i/o factory reset. Every phone has it flaws at some point.
sure.
its just bad that there is not a streamlined backup method; LGs "mobile switch" is a mess, and gets stuck regularly on messaging apps with many files(?)
best results with preinstalled apps was actually with Huawei/honor; they seem to work quite well (but I don't like there aggressive power management)
I don't like to reset a phone before I have everything setup in a different phone (2 factor etc...) because I would hate to loose data and money.
so now I either get a cheap crap phone; or another LGV30 (cheap as hell at the moment, but getting old), or a new samsung, which I didn't plan on before autumn and new phones released....

I had the same struggles you have. :laugh:
Ultimately I had to give up and switch back to Android Messenger. It backs up all messages. For 2-factor authentication I use Authy so it can restore my codes from the cloud. But you are correct, I use Android on my Chromebook and setup a 2nd two factor method (email) in my accounts before I reset my phone. I'm annoyed by games, I had to restart so many already even though Google Play Games promises to save the progress. Hope you find another way.

This is pretty much mandatory on any device. When flashing a new OS zip in TWRP, it's always a clean install. 7-8 and 8-9.
Even if not rooted and take an OTA, you either have to let the update settle or just factory reset. I've seen MANY people throughout the years on XDA complain about the newest OS version.
The general reply will always be factory reset.

You are very misinformed here. 2factor will just send you a text. If you are that worried, turn it off till you setup the device again.

And we told you to stop doing that. The fix for that was to leave the camera open in the background, until the camera finished its process.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/help/lg-v30-photos-saving-quick-exit-camera-t3894278
You were taking a picture and immediately force closing the camera before the HDR function could finish.
You also complained about the January update to AOD.

You are misinformed because pretend this is a new phone you are setting up.
How would you go about that? You would use the same two factor authentication on the new phone. You can't say two factor authentication wouldn't work on new phone or nobody could ever get a new phone...
Plus, there are SMS Backup and restore apps. WhatsApp has cloud backup if you turn it on Many messaging apps like Hangouts sync across different devices.
If you're rooted, there's TWRP and Titanium Backup -- where you can restore data to ALL apps.

1) I use Nova launcher and periodically export configuration backups to Gmail or Google Drive. You can also store them on your device, like microSD card. At any point in time, on this phone or another, then you can download and restore those home screens/desktops. I have 5 screens with apps arranged by most use (home screen), spreading out then by categories.
2) A little too late now, but Google also makes backups of your home screen configuration and when you Factory Reset your phone or buy a new phone, and you first sign in, Google will ask if you wish to restore that most recent configuration remembered from your most recent device. However, by this point in time, Google has now backed up the "new" Pie configuration you do not want. This is why you should have factory reset at the very beginning.
So... No one mentioned LG backup here? I find it suprisingly good
